Christmas Comes But Once A Year
Christmas comes but once a year,
And when it comes it brings good cheer,
A pocket full of money, and a cellar full of beer.

Chubby Little Snowman
A chubby little snowman,       (Arms make fat tummy)
Had a carrot nose,             ( Fist out in front of nose )
Along came a bunny,            ( hold up two fingers, top of hand )
And what do you suppose?       ( shake pointer finger )
That hungry little bunny,      ( rub tummy )
Looking for his lunch,         ( shade eyes look a round )
Ate the snowman's carrot nose, ( Fist out in front of nose )
Nibble nibble crunch.          ( open and close hand (grab nose with hand)
                                     moving toward nose )

Deck the halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la la la la

'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la la la la la

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la la la la la la la

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la la la la la

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la la la la la

Sing we joyous all together,
Fa la la la la la la la la

Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la la la la la.

Out comes the sun, and shines all day, one little snowman melts away.

Two little snowmen made of snow, Two little snowmen all in a row,

Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

Brings to us all both joy and glee.

Rudolph the red nose reindeer
Rudolph the red nose reindeer,
had a very shiney nose,
and if you ever saw it,
you would even say it glowed.
All of the other reindeer,
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph,
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you come and guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him,
as they shouted out with glee:
Rudoph the Red Nose Reindeer,
you'll go down in history!

Checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.

He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!

Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!

All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace

Glories stream from heaven afar
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born

Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

We three kings of Orient are

We three kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, morr and mountain,
Following yonder Star.

Chorus
O, star of wonder, star of might,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light.

Born a babe on Bethlehem's plain;
Gold we bring to crown Him again;
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.

Chorus

Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God on High.

Chorus

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Seal'd in the stone-cold tomb.

Chorus

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and sacrifice,
Heaven sings, "Hallelujah!"
Hallejujah!" Earth replies.
Chorus

To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas
And a Happy New Year

Oh bring us some figgy pudding
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
And a cup of good cheer
Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas
And a Happy New Year

We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
So bring some out here
Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas
And a Happy New Year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas
And a Happy New Year
